The London Waterloo Academy Philosophy of Education
LWA educates learners on the basis that that God created all life with a meaning and values. LWA therefore seeks to equip students to make crucial distinctions of value as they study their programme incorporating daily devotions to form the moral bases in their own lives.
LWA extends to all the love and respect needed for growth towards personal wholeness. All members and students are encouraged to embody this in their daily lives, and so not separate faith and practice. All are encouraged to find suitable ways of expressing their own commitment. The overriding goal is to create a healthy and resourceful Christian community.
The College is founded on the conviction that, through the love of Christ, we are offered, here and hereafter, the possibility of a fulfilled life.
Aims
It is the aim of LWA to:
- deliver to its learners an affordable educational experience of high quality.
- support an approach to education which is in harmony with the best traditions of a Christian values philosophy.
- provide educational opportunities in line with the needs and wishes of the Academy’s constituency.
- provide students with every opportunity for spiritual growth.
- empower students to accept responsibility, to be of service, and to bear witness.
- respect and to celebrate diversity in its many forms.
- integrate the Academy with the life of the wider community.
Spiritual values
LWA invites its students and staff to:
- start a journey on which they will catch a glimpse of their Creator.
- engage in a relationship with God, to know and be known by Him
- know themselves sinful but forgiven, wounded but healed, judged but welcomed
- recognise that while spiritual life is a personal matter it is not private, and that social obligations follow
- affirm God’s promise to come and make all things new again.
Code of Ethics
The Academy exists primarily for its students who have a right to expect that all staff will be welcoming, and will maintain a high level of professionalism in the service they provide. All College activity focuses on the desire to make Jesus known and loved within and beyond the community but first and foremost by its students.
LWA trusts its employees to embody the principles of Jesus Christ in their everyday transactions. It stands for the view that all persons have equal value in the sight of God, and therefore they deserve to be treated justly, and accorded respect regardless of gender, religion, ethnicity, age or disability. It wishes to celebrate the wisdom and the diverse forms of expression brought by staff and students alike from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.
The Academy expects colleagues to recognise that it takes constant effort to maintain the good health of a community. It is thus vital for all to show love, maintain loyalty to each other and to students, though this will not obscure the need for mutual accountability. Among other things this involves maintaining a high level of confidentiality when the situation demands.
The Academy recognises that communities prosper most when members are given room to be themselves to express their faith in love and respect. The Academy therefore encourages colleagues to have personal and professional interests beyond the demands of community life.
